Good morning!
A hit-and-run collision involving two cars damaged taqueria El Buen Sabor on Valencia and 18th yesterday. The owner said he often sees cars making illegal U-turns on Valencia, particularly since the center bike lane was constructed.
Before the March elections, a network of big donors came together to fund conservative SF causes. Now, with at least three conservative candidates competing for mayor, funders are splitting to back their own favorites. Joe Eskenazi, Joe Rivano Barros, and Will Jarrett discussed where big money will go in November’s elections.
Starting this month, Iโll be highlighting an occasional story from Mission Localโs archives to help explain how we got here. Up today in Back Story: Joe Eskenazi’s great 2018 piece on the wild and “deeply ugly” night when progressives supes made Mark Farrell mayor, pushing out London Breed in a marathon of weeping, shouting, and threats.
And yes, Breed’s backer Ron Conway, who was behind much of the drama back then, is still around.
More soon,
Sara
